Found this old art in the closet. This is a marker comp I did for the Mumble pose that is posted elsewhere in my gallery. I worked this up as an example for the digital artists in my department, the freelance painter, and the project art director to show how I believed the colors and tones should be treated in realistic light. My intent was to conform to the image in the film as closely as possible. But of course, they all ignored this rough example, and did it their own way.
WAAAAH??? Why didn't they do it this way??? O_O This is so cool, Mumble looks so much cuter!!! >//< How to explain... the way they did it made everything look soft and fuzzy (which is fine for a penguin I guess... but are they really that fuzzy? o_O ) but this makes everything look sharp and fuzzy in a prickly way ^^ (like my old teddy bear, only with two eyes, not just one hanging on for dear life).
